When His Eyes Opened (full chapter)

Chapter 77

Chapter 77
Avery was distracted until a thought suddenly popped into her head.
“Did Elliot have anything to do with what happened to Cole Foster?” she asked.
Ben was dumbfounded.
“Why do you think he did? Didn’t Cole Foster get into trouble himself with his gambling? What does that have to do with Elliot?”
Avery took a sip of water, then said, “He said he was the one who planned it. He even told me to get down on my knees and beg.”
Ben was at a loss for words.
He picked up his own glass of water and took a sip, then said, “What are you two doing? What couple is always getting into fights like the two of you… It turns out you both do it on purpose. Do you both find joy i n fighting with each other?!”
Naturally, Avery refused to admit it.
“I don’t have such a weird hobby. He’s the one who’s always provoking me.”
“Exactly! I’m sure he feels the same!”

“Which is exactly why we don’t get along,” Avery said, taking another sip of water. “Disagreements are normal in a relationship. Some people even fall deeper in love the more they fight.”
“Most couples break up the more they fight,” Avery said. “Don’t you think Chelsea Tierney is a better match for him? Nothing’s ever gone wrong in the ten years they’ve known each other…”
“Nothing’s gone wrong because there was nothing there. Elliot feels nothing for Chelsea.”
“I see… I almost forgot…”
The one he loved was the woman who looked like a princess.
After lunch, Avery took a cab to Tate Industries.
Ben sent the day’s winnings back to the Foster mansion, then drove to Sterling Group.
Of course, he did not forget to flaunt his victory in front of Elliot.
“I bought her thirty-one gifts this morning,” Ben said. “She was very happy.” Elliot looked up to glance at Ben and said, “Did you force her into it?”
Ben cocked an eyebrow and said, “Could you tell?”
Elliot raised his brows and silently watched his performance.
“When I asked her to pick out a bracelet, she stared at a specific necklace for more than three seconds. I went back to get it after she left.”
Ben pulled out a jewelry box and opened it, revealing a diamond necklace.
The diamonds were small, so the necklace was not too expensive.
“Give it to her when you get home tonight,” Ben said as he passed the box to Elliot.
Elliot fiddled with the box with his fingers. His sharp eyes were fixed on Ben as he asked, “How did you
get her to accept the gift?” “I told her that your first birthday after the accident was coming up-”
Elliot frowned, then snapped, “There’s still a long way until my birthday!”
